Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coaxial cable having a laterally wound shielding layer for use in an ultrasonic diagnostic device.
  • a woven metallic member is used as a shielding layer to enhance shielding characteristics for the purpose of increasing surface density of the shielding layer.
  • Dual woven metallic layers for this purpose are generally known.
  • the outer diameter of the cable becomes large, and sufficient flexibility of the cable has not been obtainable.
  • a plurality of copper wires have been spirally wound to provide a laterally wound shielding layer as the shielding layer in order to reduce the outer diameter of the cable and yet provide a given flexibility.
  • the concept of using a laterally wound shielding layer formed from a plurality of wires is already well known in the art of coaxial cables. For example, in document FR-A-1554181 such a shielding layer is used in the field of a coaxial cable for television antennae.
  • such a coaxial cable having a laterally wound shielding layer is available if it is used for low frequency bandwidths around 1 MHZ, for example, but the laterally wound shield does not provide a sufficient shielding characteristic due to the continuous slide of the copper wires, and the resultant coaxial cable is insufficiently shielded when used with an ultrasonic diagnostic device which requires a bandwidth of 10 MHz or more. Therefore, a coaxial cable having a minimized outer diameter, yet providing a sufficient shielding characteristic against high frequency bandwidths in the field of ultrasonic diagnostic devices, has not heretofore been realized.
  • the present invention achieves its object by a coaxial cable for use in a diagnostic device comprising the features set out in claim 1.
  • Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a coaxial cable according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a characteristic curve showing a comparison of the shielding characteristic of the present invention with that of a conventional coaxial cable.
  • reference numeral 1 designates a conductor line in which soft copper wires and tin-plated soft copper wires are stranded together.
  • Reference number 2 designates an insulation layer which is provided by winding an insulating tape sufficient for insulating the high frequency wave used, and may include insulating tapes such as foamed polyethylene tape and foamed polytetrafluoroethylene tape.
  • Reference numeral 3 designates a laterally wound shielding layer in which a plurality of soft copper wires and tin-plated soft copper wires are laterally wound by a predetermined pitch.
  • a metal depositing tape 4 in which a deposition layer 42 of electrically conductive metal such as copper and tin is deposited onto a plastic tape 41 such as polyester tape, and the deposition layer 42 is positioned radially inwardly so as to contact the laterally wound shielding layer 3.
  • An outer cover layer 5 formed of plastic material tape is then wound over the metal depositing layer 4.
  • the outer cover layer 5 may be made integral with the plastic tape 41 of the metal depositing tape 4 by heating and the like.
  • a single core coaxial cable is shown in Figure 1; however, composite coaxial cables can also be used in accordance with the present invention by stranding together a plurality of the above coaxial cables and forming a sheath layer of polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride over the stranded coaxial cables.
  • the thickness of the metal deposition layer 42 of the metal depositing tape 4 must be at least 0.2 ⁇ m in order to obtain a sufficient shielding characteristic. More particularly, if the metal deposition layer 42 has a thickness of about 1 ⁇ m, a greatly improved shielding characteristic is attainable.
  • Such a coaxial cable may be used even if the number of conductive wires is reduced in such a manner as to provide about a 50% surface density. As a result, the cable weight can be reduced in accordance with this embodiment.
  • a copper deposited polyester tape according to the present invention was wound so that the metal deposited layer portion 42 having a metal deposition thickness of about 1 ⁇ m was radially inwardly positioned, and over the laterally wound layer, a conventional polyester tape 41 having a thickness of 6 ⁇ m and a width of 4 mm was wound. Two polyester tapes were overlapped with each other with a mutual displacement of about 1/3 of their respective areas. Comparative experiments were then conducted to determine the shielding characteristic.
  • the shielding characteristic is greatly improved in comparison with the conventional coaxial cable having a laterally wound shield without any increase in outer diameter.
  • the metal deposition layer of the present invention may be sufficiently bonded to the plastic tape by deposition so that the shielding characteristic may be maintained even under a severe bending condition of the cable. Accordingly, a multi-core assembly of coaxial cables in accordance with the present invention may be used in high density in an ultrasonic diagnostic device which requires sufficient shielding characteristics at high frequency bandwidths, and the resulting assembly may be compact and light in weight.
